The Fujifilm FinePix S9000 is one of the new generation of Fujifilm digital cameras with the 5th Generation SuperCCD HR image sensor with low-light capability.

With 10.7x optical zoom and 9MP resolution, the Fujifilm S9000 provides very good to excellent image quality, though not approaching the exceptional low noise capability of the F10. Noise is low at ISO 80, 100, 200 and 400. ISO 800 is usable, and a high ISO 1600 allows you to get the shot where otherwise you may not be able to depending on the amount of light present. Currently no other long zoom prosumer digital camera can match this low noise capability.

The Fujifilm S9000 is f-a-s-t! Startup is about 1 sec. and there is no practical shutter lag.

With the Fujifilm FinePix S9000, Fujifilm has returned to tried-and-proven SLR-like camera body design and handling. It looks very professional in its black body with silver accents, handles comfortably and is full featured. We put the Fujifilm S9000 at the top of the advanced category.
